Dual Credit at CTEC
Frisco ISD partners with Collin College to offer dual credit opportunities within the Career and Technical Education programs. Some of the CTE Dual Credit courses are taught at the Frisco ISD Career and Technical Education Center, and some are taught at the Collin College Technical Campus located in Allen.
Dual Credit courses allow students to be dually enrolled in an institution of higher education while enrolled in high school. The grades earned from dual credit courses will be posted on both the student’s college and high school transcripts.
